Progress Pictures - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cwilkie · 09-03-2007, 11:01 PM

It's been a while since I have been on the message board; however, I am getting close to finishing my project. I included some progress pictures which show what I started with and where I am at now. Things are looking up and hopefully I should be driving the truck by early October. Right before it snows...

One sharp looking stepside. I noticed it started off as a blue truck. Did you have the cab sandblasted?

**jerry moss** · 09-04-2007, 10:08 AM

i only see one problem with that truck----you own it instead of me

very nice truck, you did a great job.

looks pretty good. I've got a 68 I'm working on and can't decide on rims/tire combo. What do you have under yours? I like the stance of your truck.

American Racing Burst wheels wrapped with 235/75/15 Goodyear tires. I wanted to keep the smaller tires because I didn't want my paint damaged.

What did you do with the fender spare tire bracket? Do you still have it? If so do you want to sell it?

cwilkie · 09-08-2007, 10:18 AM

I sold it a few years back. Sorry.

cwilkie · 09-08-2007, 10:20 AM

Thank you all for the kind words. I would not have been able to get this truck to where it's at without help from all you baord members and especially the board vendors. And, of coarse, my Father!
